Hmm.. 10 years with no repeat incidents. Maybe the Sox would entertain removing the upper deck ticket restrictions.

I have absolutely no proof to support this, but I think that was just used as an excuse. I think they close off the upper deck access to keep the outfield concourse from becoming a complete ****show and getting dangerously overcrowded.

Who cares if they bring this story up? You know next October will be 2 or 3 WEEKS worth of Steve Bartman talk; being the 10th anniversary and all.

No,that's in 2013.This is only the 9th Anniversary.The only reason I know this is beacuse I was 5 outs away from losing a bet with my sCrUB loving brother in law.Had the "Loveable Losers" made the WS, I had to parade the streets of Waukegan wearing a sCrUBS uni and cap,singing "Hey Hey,Holy Mackerel".Glad I did not have to demean myself.A Sox fan rooting for the "Dark Side" ?? Not me!!

He said next October, not this October, I assumed that to mean 2013.

Anyway, since you won the bet, what did you make your brother-in-law do?

We don't have to, but by nature, we do, especially anniversaries with round numbers.

This is an awful memory, but I don't think we should forget it. In doing so, we Sox fans should continue to do what we have done: Condemn these thugs for an inexcusable action, don't buy their fake remorse (what little this was and how shortlived it was), and emphasize that this in no represents the type of fans and people we are.

Next month: How frustrated Cub fans simply wanted to tell Steve Bartman how they felt about the foul ball

One of my favorite "Cubune" posts ever!

We need to reinvent that posting style. I know not the same without the Trib owning the Cubs, but those biases die hard, like on Monday when after beating the Tigers, it's all Cub talk on "Cubune Live" on CSN.

You noticed that too? Disgusting! But it enables up to keep that chip on our shoulder, so I'm fine with it.
